What will I do if a friend ignores me?We had a fight & I said sorry but he's trying not to talk to me anymore.

Question

We had a heated exchange of words before and we both admit our faults... Yeah, we both say sorry to each other.. And as time passes by, he's treating me so cold, I mean, he's not the one that I knew before.. He's putting a gap between the two of us, and I am consistent in doing some things to bring back the old good times.. But may effort still don't really work..When I send him text messages, he only chooses what message to reply.. I think he doesn't value our friendship.. I admit I'm having a hard time realizing our situation.. I'm still clueless what's on his mind and when I ask about the status of our friendship, he gives no answer.. Now, what shall I do??

And the only thing I fear is that when I'll not talk to him he will completely forget me.. He's only my "online friend", I got to know him through the chatroom and then we exchange mobile numbers and became friends.. That's the thing I only fear, that he will forget me..

Answer 1

I agree with ak...maybe he needs some time away from you to see that he misses you...it could be that you've been too overly aggressive in your attempts to make things like they used to be before your argument. Sometimes, even when people apologize, it is still hard for them to just bounce right back into being the kind of friend they used to be...especially depending on the reason for the argument in the first place. Believe it or not, sometimes people need to be allowed to be mad for awhile...just like they need time to grieve. So give him his time and if he still hasn't contacted you on his own...then you need to start coming to terms with the fact that he is not willing to mend the friendship and you then need to begin to move on with your life.

Answer 2

Stop contacting him for awhile. Let him reach out to you when he is ready.
